[English version below] Faoi ainm cleite a foilsíodh an chéad úrscéal a scríobh Natalia Ginzburg i 1942, ach fán bhliain 1947 bhí sí saor le scríobh faoina hainm féin. Tháinig rabharta úrscéalta uaithi as sin amach, mar aon le haistí, gearrscéalta, agus eile. Áirítear í ar mhórscríbhneoirí Iodáilise a linne. I 1961 a tháinig Le voci della sera amach. Tá an scéal suite i mbaile tuaithe in iarthuaisceart na hIodáile sna 1940í. Ríomhtar an scéal trí shúile mná óige, agus faightear spléachadh ar a saol siúd agus ar shaol na gcomharsan, go háirithe ar imeachtaí an dream ar leo an mhonarcha ar a bhfuil an dúiche ar fad beo. Tá cúrsaí polaitiúla agus sóisialta i gceist, chomh maith le cúrsaí grá agus pósta, rudaí nach ritheann go réidh do dhuine ar bith san áit, agus ní taise do bhean inste an scéil é. Tá lámh éadrom ag an údar ar an insint, agus súil ghéar, agus cluas ghéar, agus ligtear do phearsanra an scéil iad féin a léiriú, an-mhinic, trí ráitis a mbéil féin. Ón eagrán Iodáilise a d’fhoilsigh Einaudi i 1971 (athchló 1979) a aistríodh Glórtha an Tráthnóna. Aistrithe ón Iodáilis ag Máire Nic Mhaoláin, buaiteoir Ghradam de Bhaldraithe, 2024. Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: aitlín Nic Íomhair agus Oisín Montanari [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] Our primary narrator in Voices in the Evening is Elsa, an as-yet-unmarried woman of a certain age—dismaying her hypochondriac mother—who describes the colorful natives of this small village. Her dialogue is rich, ranging from amusing character studies to heartbreaking developments, all of which subtly reflect a society rebuilding itself after tremendous loss. Ginzburg’s work often focuses on individuals in the time around World War II, when many isms—Communism, Fascism, Catholicism, Nationalism—provided conflicts across Italy, and within communities and families. Though the political context is important in understanding the nuances of her work, Ginzburg’s talent, and how fresh these stories still feel, is in her note-perfect characterizations. The many political frictions offer a context, but it’s these imaginary/real people who are front and center. Presenter: Seán Ó Catháin Guests: Caitlín Nic Íomhair and Oisín Montanari
